. Army and Navy Quarrels.

Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
1t is strange what tri1es army and navy men
will quarrel over. The service is kept in a con-
slant state of irritation by petty personal SQUAD
bles. The most intense affronts taken at

that last for years, running right through off
cial families, cliques of officers called. A
curious example of this occurred the other day
in the paymaster's Office of the Navy Depart
meut.
Two retired officers, an admiral and captain,
who had come to draw their money, happened
in the Office at the same time. AS they did not
notice each other, the pay officer concluded that
they had newer met, so he at once introduced
them. The little admiral Strengthened himself
up, and frisked about the room violently.
How dare you introduce me TO this mani" he
cried Il do not want to know him! L do not
want to recognize such person!" and he fiounced
out OF the Office without his money.
The captain, who was big, good natured fell
low, explained the occurrence. 1t seems that
forty six years ago, when one was n lieutenant
and the other a captain, they were both on the
same ship, and they disagreed one day to
what was the best way to take in topsail. In
all these years they have never settled the ques
tion. And they both won distinction in the late

SPRINGFIELD. May 3.-The State printing in
vestigation committee has concluded its report
the combine" and will present it to the
Senate tomorrow. It takes the form of a ma
jority and minority report. Three Republicans
signed the former and two Democrats the latter.
The first report claims the contract should
be ignored; recommends the appropriation of
80 900 for printing required by the State for the
next two years; directs the Secretary of State
to order more printing from Rocker & Co,
and requests the Attorney general and the
States attorney of Sangamon county to prose
cute the members OF the printing combine"
crimnaly The minority report recommends
all this and censures the State officers A pro-
test has been prepared by Rocker & Co.. the
State printers against the decision of the com
mittee. in which they claim wrongful treatment
in not being allowed to appear before the com
mission with counsel; that concealment was
made of the partnership of Rocker & Co.; that
the contract is at least % per cent. below the
reasonable maximum rate fixed by the laws of the
State that contract prices of State printing in
recent years have been unreasonably low, caus-
ing financial disaster to the contractors and star
walton wages to the workmen doing the prin ting
for the State; that the contractors in no
way responsible for the excess of printing over
former years and that all this could have been
satisfactorily explained to the committee had
opportunity been offered.

express and mail cars, n smoker,
two passenger coaches and four
sleepers, carrying about one hum
and thirty passengers. The bag
gage, mail, express and smoking
cars went into the flood. The
smoker is said to have contained
twenty persons. They were all saved
but one. The postal car was swept
away some distance, and as the
water rushed through it from end to
end the mail was literally washed
out and it is now scattered over
miles of territory. The mail is said
to have been the largest ever sent
over the road, and losses will fall
heavily on this city, where about
three quarters of the matter origi-
mated. An express package, with
out address or anything on it by
which it can be identified, containing
S37 200, was found yesterday, and
it is not unlikely that others will be
discovered in the bed of the creek
or in the woods. The cause of the
unprecedented flood and weakening
of the trestle is declared to have
been cloudburst which filled the
creek so full that it became raging
torrent with current of over twenty
miles per hour, and swept every
thing before it. Several persons
were badly bruised.

five other men in the shop who don't
do any such thing. They spend
half their working hours in loafing,
and their evenings in dissipation.
The first young man by-and-by cuts
out these others, and gets boot and
shoe store of his own. Then he
marries the girl. Soon he is able to
take his wife out to ride of an even

the GERMAN REICHSTAC.
POINTS IN THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH
READ FROM THE THRONE.

Berlin, March 3.-The new Ger
man Reichstag opened to-day. The
Emperor's speech was read from the
throne. In it he says he is gratified
at the benevolent disposition the
Pope has shown toward the Empire.
The foreign policy of the Empire is
continually directed to the mainte-
nance of peace with all powers, and
especially with Germany's neigh
bors. The foreign relations of the
Government are the same as when
the last Reichstag was opened. If
the present Reichstag, without hesi-
tation or division, gives unanimous
expressions to the resolve that the
nation will put forth it's full strength
and in full panoply now and at all
times against any attack upon our
frontiers, such resolution, even be-
fore carried out, will materially
strengthen the guarantees of peace
and remove the doubts which the
late parliamentary debates may
have inspired. The Emperor feels
assured that the Reichstag, by its
resolutions, will place the Fedral
Governments National policy on a
safe basis, and derives from this
conviction the confident hope that
God will bless his efforts to preserve
the peace aud security of Germany.
The same bills that were submitted
to the previous Reichstag, will again
be offered, creating new sources of
revenue, and reforms of the me-
thods of taxation are urged.
